Abstract:A simple and robust method for veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V–V ECMO) involves a drainage cannula into the inferior vena cava via the femoral vein (FV) and a reinfusion cannula into the right atrium (RA) via the internal jugular vein (IJV) (F–J configuration). However, with this method, the arterial oxygen (PaO2) is said to remain below 100 mmHg.Since recently, in our ICU, to prevent drainage failure, we apply a modification from the commonly practiced F–J configuration by advancing the tip… Show more
